No Refunds

Social Security a Medicare are bankrupt, thanks to decades of fraud waste and abuse by politicians before Musk even got here.

6% of your entire life's earnings, vanished. No big deal, it's only money. 🤡

Read the law, 15% of what you earn is paid to Social Security, theoretically one half by the employer, one half by the employee. Technically the employee is paying 100% because the employer would have been willing to pay that additional 7.5% for the employee's services.
It's okay, you got a Public School Education, the left doesn't expect you to know much.

Employees and employers each pay a Social Security tax rate of 6.2% of wages, totaling 12.4%. Self-employed individuals pay a total of 12.4% as well, since they cover both the employee and employer portions.

Horse crap. I'm an employer. If it's no big deal, give me 6.2% of what you earn, I could use an extra $5 a week.

The 6.2% is a direct copy and paste from the Social Security website. Deal with it. 🤑

No, stop changing the discussion, you said Social Security and Medicare. I'm glad you can cut and paste only the parts that support your falsified argument. Social Security and Medicare add up to 15.3%. I will discuss anything with you and learn from you if you aren't disingenuous about the facts you use. So if it's nothing that has vaporized on a national scale, 330 million citizens +-, go ahead and submit 7.65% of your pay to me, I'll donate it to a genuine charity instead of to the army of 10% Joe Biden.

YOU SAID : "Read the law, 15% of what you earn is paid to Social Security, theoretically one half by the employer, one half by the employee. "

Oh, now precise details matter to you. Can you edit your meme please, and we'll leave out bankrupt Medicare and Medicaid. After all, who cares if our money just vanishes into corrupt politician and bureaucrats bank accounts. Right? It's only money.

You are automatically enrolled in Medicare at age 65, whether you want it or not. You pay for Medicare your entire life. They take 170.00 a month out of your Social Security deposits each month to pay for it. So, when Social Security goes, Medicare goes & Medicaid along with it. NO REFUNDS 🤷‍♂️

Wow, I wish they only took $170 out of mine, Medicare Advantage you know. You just love to argue.

When Medicare was introduced, it was intended to be an extension of Social Security. Medicaid was supposed to be an extension of Medicare. Takes your Social Security number to get either one.
